I closely monitor my sugar intake even though I am not diabetic. I do not eat anything over 10 grams of sugar per serving. I have found that eating whole grains and eliminating processed foods has made a massive difference. There is so much sodium and sugar in processed foods. For example, light yogurts usually have about 15-20 grams of sugar. I try to get my sugar from fruit and other super foods like dark chocolate.

I think you'll find general agreement that white carbs are the problem. There are so many healthy carbs out there and, eaten in moderation are not going to hurt you.
